M311 Addition to British Dyewood & Chemical Co., Glasgow

This utilitarian,
two-storey building, 15 bays long by four wide, was an addition to the Carntyne
premises of the British Dyewood & Chemical Co.. in Glasgow's industrial East End. Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh's
job-book entry reveals that it had a roof supplied by the Clyde Structural Iron Co., but also
that it contained a large amount of joinery. A brief description written before
demolition says the main materials were red brick and concrete. 1 No drawings appear to
survive.

Authorship: This is one of over 270 jobs carried
out in the office of John Honeyman & Keppie (Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh from 1901)
during Mackintosh's time there. Mackintosh undoubtedly worked on many of these,
but there is no specific evidence for his involvement in this
case.
